You should cross the mountains like a brave man

Chapter 891 Unseemly Start
Thursday, June 2016, 5.

In the NBA division finals, one side has already decided the final result.

In the West, the Golden State Warriors were undefeated by the Thunder and advanced to the finals for two consecutive years with a score of 4-1.

In the East, the 76ers lead the Cavaliers 3-2. In Game 6, their inside core DeMarcus Cousins ​​was suspended. Therefore, they will meet the challenge of the Cavaliers with an incomplete lineup.

Without Cousins, the lack of manpower inside will be more prominently exposed.

Quicken Loans Center, this is the last home of the Cavaliers, they have no reason to lose the game.

Since the day Cousins ​​was suspended, they have had to play with a reputation for being smart.

After the 76ers entered the field, the boos from Cleveland lasted for a long time. Their persistence in this regard is just like the desire for victory in a city that has not won a professional sports championship in half a century.

They are long lasting.

The 76ers were all solemn. They didn't use fancy dunks to warm up for the game.

Everyone lays up, shoots, passes and layups step by step.

They only do things that can warm up the hands and feet and adjust the feel by the way.

"Those who think that the 76ers and the Cavaliers will definitely reach the tiebreaker, it is still too late to change their minds." Jeff Van Gundy said with a smile, "I saw an expression similar to an exasperated Michael Jordan on the faces of this group of people."

Mark Jackson said in surprise: "An irritated MJ has already made people tremble. Do the 76ers have a group?"

They are alarmist, which shows how amazing the momentum the 76ers are currently showing.

The core players of the two teams did not even exchange a few words in the midfield.

Both Wei Xia and James made a guarded gesture of not speculating.

Second by second, a local singer from Cleveland came to the stage to sing the American national anthem. After the singing ended, the DJ began to introduce the starting lineups of both sides. The uninspiring cutscene ended, and the starting lineup of the 76ers for this game first appeared on the central screen.

Holiday, Wescia, Robertson, Hayward, Farid.

Strictly speaking, this is what Pat Riley calls "the future of basketball."Of course, it is not as exaggerated as "the future of basketball is five James". The 76ers lineup has no orthodox insiders. The tallest player is Hayward, and the defense of the starting five players has no dead ends.

The knight on the opposite side also had other ideas.

Cousins ​​​​can't play, they want to magnify their inside advantage, so they let Thompson and Love start again, James returns to the third position, Jefferson starts as the second position, and Irving is unshakable at the first position.

The 76ers lost the jump ball, and Wei Xia immediately came to James' side. He played a rigorous and serious personal defense that did not overly violate James' body.

This kind of defense does not put much pressure, it is mainly grinding, and it is very able to test the patience of the offensive side.

"I can feel your dissatisfaction in your defense." James is eager to get more out of Cousins' suspension. "Glad to piss you off."

"Enrage me? God, my king, you don't know how excited I am."

The moment the voice fell, Love actually wanted to hit the ground and pass the ball without James not securing his position.

Such a pass is like a hot woman deliberately wearing sexy underwear to seduce an unrestrained virgin.

In an instant, Wei Xia stepped forward to take away James' position and snatched the ball.

He rode the fast break alone, and James didn't have the will to catch up, so his first goal of the game was so easy-a direct Tomahawk dunk.

2 is better than 0
"You think you have a chance to win, but in fact, if you lose this game, I believe public opinion will definitely make your hairline rise 5 centimeters."

Wei Xia sneered and walked to James' side: "I'm looking forward to that moment very much!"

James responded by catching the ball in the low post.

He is no longer the one who was single-guarded by Barea to the outside pass. Although his low-post skills have not improved much, he has enough weight to sit and hit all players in the same position.

Wei Xia prevented his attack, but he couldn't prevent him from cooperating with Thompson.

Thompson cut in from the outside, the 76ers' inside line was not high, and James raised his hand to pass the lob.

2 is better than 2
"The 76ers' starting lineup has the strongest defensive mobility."

"But again, what they're sacrificing is the height advantage."

"It's hard to have both height and speed."

Holiday's starting lineup symbolizes that the 76ers have given up their systematic tactical offense. They want to use their athletic ability to disrupt the Cavaliers' offense and defense.

Seeing Holiday holding the ball at the top of the arc and facing Irving, the 76ers teammates sent him a luxurious high-position double pick-and-roll.

Wesha and Hayward are in charge of the pick-and-roll.

The quality of their pick-and-rolls is not as good as that of insiders, but the threat after they are disassembled is far from what the insiders can match.

The greater the threat of tearing apart, the better the tearing effect on the defense.

In the end, they ended up switching on Holiday with Love.

Love immediately showed his best defense in the Timberwolves period-shooting, you can do whatever you want, break through, and I will let you go, but I will definitely make a fierce defensive posture to make people think that I am doing my best. In fact, my attention is all on the defensive rebound that may be generated after your shot.

Holiday didn't have Love's careful thinking. He dribbled the ball and saw an opportunity to attack, so he stopped and pulled up and shot.

"Shh!"

4 is better than 2
Cavaliers' offense began to become difficult.

It only took two rounds for Wei Xia to adjust from the position of jamming James to going around the front defense and not receiving the ball for him.

Although Holiday can't defend Irving, Robertson's athletic ability and defense area are underestimated.

The existence of Weixia and Hayward's stable starting position have made Robertson's defense ignored by many people. In fact, he may be the third best player in the 76ers' defensive ability.

Size, physicality, athleticism, defensive willingness and experience, almost impeccable, the perfect contemporary collar wing.

As long as he is not allowed to attack, he can satisfy the coaching staff in other aspects.

His defense means that Jefferson is overqualified, so he will pay more attention to the position of Owen and others on the defensive end, and abandon Jefferson's defense as long as the time is right.

People started falling to the ground.

Jefferson's aging body seems unable to cope with the high-pressure defensive intensity of the 76ers.

What is even more unexpected is that the referee actually acquiesced to the 76ers' actions.

James worked hard to catch the ball and hit his back a few times, but he couldn't push it in, and the ball could only be passed out.

When Irving received the ball, he had no time to go heads-up, so he simply pulled from the outside.

"boom!"

"Your heroic demeanor of throwing the bomb into the arms of your teammates at the last second has been deeply etched into my mind." Wei Xia whispered behind James.

The result of chasing James and talking yin and yang in this way is that they face the top in the frontcourt.

James originally defended Hayward, but suddenly changed to Wei Xia.

A rare opportunity, Wei Xia asked for the ball to let his teammates pull away.

No pick-and-rolls, no screens, no plays.

There is only a wonderful individual singles. Weixia's energy to play James is like O'Neal receiving the ball in the low post and discovering that Nate Robinson is playing the defense.If this scene happened in the real world, if O'Neill didn't knock Robinson's shit out, he wouldn't be full tonight.

Such extreme excitement appeared on Wei Xia's face.

He dribbled the ball and beat James' defense in rhythm.Today's James is no longer comparable to him in the Heat period on the defensive end.

Wei Xia brilliantly pushed forward with the ball, turned around, and made an emergency stop. Byver pointed to James and completely destroyed his defense before throwing the ball.

"Shh!"

6 is better than 2
"It turns out that people who do everything possible to drag the series to the seventh game can only make this level of defense?" Wei Xia sarcastically put his hands on his heart, "I feel the wish of you and your team to be ridiculed by fans all over the United States, and I swear you will get what you want!"

Wei Xia's yin and yang words are like locust swarms harming the fields, spewing out densely without giving James any room to breathe.

His words and deeds are irritating the entire Cavaliers team.

He really couldn't believe that the Cavaliers didn't make a decisive battle at the beginning of the game. Could it be that they thought that the 76ers could do whatever they wanted without Cousins?
If this is the case, Wei Xia will sigh again.

God really hates Cleveland, otherwise how could he let these bastards compete for the championship?

James' face gradually turned cold. At the beginning of the game, he still had unfinished pride. It was the unquenchable pleasure after the calculation was successful.

He knew that would make the Sixers eat shit, and that's what he liked.

Now, Wei Xia's trash talk is starting to make the whole team sick.

In the 6-2 start, the 76ers didn't play well, and the defense relied on athleticism to oppress it. It was like a dream team playing a FIBA ​​game. The offensive end was even more confusing. There was no tactical offense in the opening three goals, and they were all singles.

James was eager to get the ball, but Wei Xia suddenly increased his physical contact, completely denying him the chance to get the ball.

The physical struggle between the two lasted for 16 seconds, and the sound of panting one after another was swallowed up by the chaotic atmosphere of the court. Irving's one-on-one match ended in a complicated way with an emergency stop, turning and changing directions, and then an emergency stop and fallback jump shot.

4 is better than 6
"If I were Kyrie, I wouldn't be willing to be the No. [-] player for a guy who passes the first ball." Wei Xia sneered sinisterly.

"You can say that shit, if you think it's useful." James responded sullenly.

shit?Wei Xia asked himself, which of his words was not true?
Faithful words are harsh, but the truth is so ugly.

James couldn't accept it, which meant that he was still wearing his new clothes, their offensive and defensive strength was not strong enough, and the emperor still wanted to be decent.However, this kind of thing happened. Tonight, every second of this game, Wei Xia couldn't make him look decent.
